Audiotopsy are an American alternative metal supergroup, consisting of Skrape lead vocalist Billy Keeton, Mudvayne/Hellyeah guitarist Greg Tribbett, bass player Perry Stern, and Mudvayne drummer Matthew McDonough.[2]

History

The band formed in 2015 after Greg Tribbett left Hellyeah along with bassist Bob ‘Zilla’ Kakaha.[3]

Napalm Records signed the band for their debut LP, Natural Causes, which was self-produced and engineered by Tim Laud.[4] The album was officially released on October 2. The tracks "Headshot" and "The Calling" premiered on Loudwire and Revolver respectively.[5][6]

Musical style

Tribbett refers to Audiotopsy as 'progressive hard rock.'[7] The band have been categorized in the media as alternative metal[1] and post-grunge.[1] In their review for Natural Causes, Ghost Cult Magazine wrote "On paper the idea of Tribbett and McDonough working together again seems awesome, but the angular and off-kilter Mudvayne rhythms are nowhere to be found here. The closest we get to those days is on ‘Distorted’ and ‘Darken the Rainbow,’ but even then it’s more Lost and Found rather than L.D. 50. And that’s fine because this is a new band and they’re capable of producing their own interesting moments."[1]
